BEN & KATE

SINGLE-FAMILY HOME RENOVATION

Drifter Way, Whistler, B.C. - 2016

Ben is Whistler's local Structural Engineer and we have partnered with him on all of our Whistler projects. He and his wife had recently purchased an old Whistler "tear-down". Rather than consign the building to the dump, we worked with the existing building to give it a new lease of life.

The existing building is a dark and confusing mass of windows, angles, and timber guard rails. Taking pride of place in this mayhem is a horrific light sucking dark stone faced fireplace. We worked with Ben and Kate to open up the plan, realigning interior walls and making the spaces more family friendly, as well as light filled. The existing building with its beige on beige color scheme lacked a defining entry. We incorporated a new stone clad double garage with a covered timber entry, bringing your eye, and future guests into the building.

We managed to race through the building permit process and work commenced at the end of July 2016.

The completed renovation - Summer 2017. Quite a transformation!

The existing "entry". Spot the main door.. nope, it's actually behind the carport and up a flight of stairs...!
